Song

Lyrics

Up in the morning
Out on the job
I work like the devil
For my pay
I know that lucky old sun
Has nothing to do
But roll around heaven all day
I fuss with my woman
And I toil with my kids
I sweat til I'm
Wrinkled and gray
I know that lucky old sun
Has nothing to do
But roll around heaven all day

Dear Lord above
Don't you see I'm pining
I got tears all in my eyes
Why don't you send down
That cloud with the silver lining
Lift me up to paradise
Show me that river
Why don't you take me across
And wash all my troubles away
I know that lucky old sun
He's got nothing to do
But just roll around
Heaven all day
Dear Lord above
Can't you know I'm pining
Tears all in my eyes
Send down that cloud
With the silver lining
Lift me to paradise
Oh, show me that river
And take me across
Wash all my troubles away
And I know the lucky old sun
He's got nothing to do
But roll around heaven all day
Yes, sir, he got nothing
But roll around heaven all day
I said he just
Roll around heaven all day
Now you say it
(Roll around heaven all day)
Yes, Lord
